i have bought at very least 10 unusual fruit trees because of your videos, i am at 70 plus on citrus trees (most in pots) having a green house built as i type and will be adding on a sun room, i am hooked on unusual fruits.
oh my god do you have any photos or such recorded you would share? sounds awesome i have been thinking of getting an allotment space in the UK to grow but most have warned me its probably not worth it after rats and birds and the lack of maintenance etc at least in my local area is a nightmare plus the greenhouse built in some of the spaces are just mostly neglected meaning id have to put a whole lot of money into renovating a place. my garden is pretty much no use its pretty small and about 3/10th of it is concrete, we have my nephew we look after on weekends and a waffle of life problems i wont go into that makes it much harder to even think of starting, unless i do a grow in the window type thing but people i see get horrific results and fruit that barely looks appetising, when you see them clementine tree's or chilli or tomato trees i mean plants etc. want to try growing unusual variety's of black grapes but i dont know if UK climate is even worth trying. i may be able to grow em but will they be as good as i get in my local. sorry thats my 2 cents.
Me too. I'm hooked on all these cool fruits and veggies. I have tried at least 8 fruits so far. The world has many things to see and do. I love to travel to these countries and see them in their natural habitat.
@@Dockhead You can try outdoor potted plants or have raised bed planters made for your yard. There are a lot of fruit trees that when grafted onto dwarfing rootstock can be as short as 6 ft. tall. Boyo, you can also get fruit trees that have different types of fruit grafted on it such as peach nectarine, plum, cherry and apricot. In the US they are called fruit salad trees. Depending on where you are in the UK you might be able to grow some of the hardier citrus on dwarfing rootstock or a loquat tree. Loquats are delicious! Start small and work your way up from there. In a half barrel planter you could easily grow a small herb garden sufficient for your needs. When I lived in Army housing I only had 200 sq. ft. of yard with crummy soil. In it I managed to grow a lot of flowers and herbs including a fairy garden with real English bluebells.
That is probably the tikuna variety, which had been cultivated by the Tikuna indigenous tribe. It's cool because the wild variety is smaller and even more sappy. Good job, Tikuna people! And yes, abiu is amazing
I’m really glad you’re re-reviewing a lot of your earlier videos! Those reviews were good at the time but you’ve gotten so much better at describing what you’re tasting, not to mention there could be a lot of variation in flavor from fruit to fruit! You also reviewed a lot of iconic rare fruit in less-than-ideal circumstances so I’m glad to see another go around! Aibu is a fruit I’ve been dying to try! One of these days I’ll track one down, hopefully before my seedling sized trees produce fruit themselves!
makes me think should he actually go back and try every fruit again or at least ones where the preference couldn't be had. i remember some old old ones where he says some of the fruits are sometimes not as ripe as what the locals what eat it as. but its not as simple as that i think. a lot of them fruits he tried in the country at the time of being there, so he would have to travel again etc.
I prefer these to starapples. Mostly have the same flavor, but with better flesh to weight ratio, and with additional pleasant caramel undertones too. Too bad they're rarer.
Good review this time! So, I don't even really like fruit that much but I love your channel. It's informative and fun. And you have a nice way of talking, it's very soothing. That sounds weird.. but there you go.
It would be cool if you redo all of your old videos like Pulasan, Granadilla, Lucuma and Rose apple and other fruits with your new camera and microphone!
damn ive just literally responded to someone suggesting the same basically. be really cool but i think it would be a cost too far, as some fruits i think he only reviewed in the country he was travelling in at the time.
That sample of abiu actually looks substandard but it's good you enjoyed it. In its best form, it should look white and slightly translucent with no dark bruises inside like what you had.
I just got one of these in my box from Miami Fruit and I'm excited to try it! I consider your channel an instruction manual on what to do with my weird fruit lol.
This fruit is called Cauge in Ecuador, it a very tall tree, maybe 45 to 50 feet tall. It grows in the woods in the hot and humid forest . It grows in the wild, it is not cultivated in farms.
Ive been watching your channel for years, its weird to now have suggested videos from other channels basically copying your content. I guess thats just the way of the world, but you must be doing something right to have biters. Keep up the good work!
Good to see the Indiana Jones of fruit exploration, reviews his own work for quality and accuracy. I cannot wait until this pandemic is over and he goes on some more trips to far off flung exotic destinations in search of some more "weird fruit".
We called star apples Caimito in the Philippines. My grandma used to have a tree in her backyard. We used to climb up on her roof to get some fruit. So delicious
@themooseriverreviewcrew do they grow big? my friend's dad grows various plants and fruits and he tends to bring his plants inside the house of his garage when winter drops, as in the UK we maybe have 5 months of decent growable weather before you get frosty nights randomly just before june or snow in march. darn weather.
My friend has a few abiu trees. I'm going to try making a wine or mead with about 5 kgs of fruit. I can't find any recipe for abiu wine so it will be a fun experiment.
Abriu is really delicious. As you noticed, it sticks your lips togheter. In the old days of Pará, people asked for secrecy like this: "boca de abiu! ..."
They call them Caimito here in Peru in the Amazon, I had them in Iquitos, and we're recommended to use a spoon to eat to avoid the latex sticking everywhere, though some people like to not tell you about the sticky latex and then give you like paper towel or paper napkins or even cotton to "clean yourself" and then laugh when it sticks to your face
@@griffinc3263 Pretty sure the variety here is the Abiu, I've eaten them and cut em in the Peruvian amazonian area, they are closely related though, the one here is pretty yellow skin, thick, has sticky latex and big seeds. Oddly enough there are a lot of amazonian fruits that are similar or the same as the ones found in south east Asia, so we share a lot of variety of wild fruit, with some exceptions. One fruit I'd love to see on the show is the Aguaje fruit, a very odd fruit for sure, it's like a big avocado sized seed, surrounded by an oily paste like flesh with a hard to describe sweet flavor, and it's skin is more like small hard scales that you feel off.
If magic happens whenever you chill the fruit then you should also try it the way the Mexicans do with the chile seasoning like salt pepper and sugar it's the next in line for seasoning fruit. Also known as tejin (taheen) It has salt sugar lime Not to be confused with chili powder which has oregano and other herbs
there is different options of fruits, tons i think, best check there website for more specific details but they also do mystery box fruits, where they will probably a selection or category of different fruits, maybe a banana selection or citrus, but im not sure, i cant use them where i live.
You can get ones like that at Chinese restaurant supply places and sometimes asian supermarkets. They're dirt cheap too most of the time (mine was on sale for $2). Only thing is you need to oil it, they're bacteria traps.
A lesson to be Mate always give past fruit a second chance because sometimes the first tasting can be obscured. Now you point it out the Star Apple does look like the Abiu wow you blown my mind all these fruits are probably hybrids of each other and no one knows nothing i m sure theres a family tree that can be made where Abiu and Star Fruit are branches. My observations I think theres notes of Caramel if you let the fruit oxidise, it oxidises like a Hass Avocado or Apple in seconds as the sticky latex is released thru the fruit when its cut. Cheers fir the review sometimes a second update review on a fruit might change ones mind on first tasting.
Have you thought about going to Miami Fruits location and buying one of every fruit and have a smorgasbord with a couple of friends? You guys could stay in a hotel, get the fruits, share and eat the fruits, and just bascially have a video of you guys discussing the fruits. Unless, you found out you basically already did videos on the fruits they sell in the past. Maybe, just maybe, if you told them in advance that you will be doing a video on all their fruits, they just might hand them over for free since it would be free advertisement for them. Hey, that's the ticket! June, good time to get a durian and cut it while on their plantation or smuggle it in the hotel. If anybody says "what's that smell" as you go to or leave your car just say "I was wondering the same thing." Mwahaha!😁 Wonder how many different kinds of durian they sell. So, yeah, Viva La Smorgasbord!!!
i think miami would probably do that, as tbh then its basically an advert pitch for them, they supply the fruit and he makes his own way there sort of thing. that would be interesting. oh sorry i sort of commented before reading it all thoroughly, i guess we mention the same thing.
i have bought at very least 10 unusual fruit trees because of your videos, i am at 70 plus on citrus trees (most in pots) having a green house built as i type and will be adding on a sun room, i am hooked on unusual fruits.

I feel the temptation to do the same thing, but my garden is small, and I am not really a garden person.
Yo Miami fruit helping us get a lot of damn content
That is probably the tikuna variety, which had been cultivated by the Tikuna indigenous tribe. It's cool because the wild variety is smaller and even more sappy. Good job, Tikuna people! And yes, abiu is amazing
You've gained in professionalism.
Love it. I had an abiu right off the tree in Peru a year ago and I find myself craving it every once in a while. So sweet!
I’m really glad you’re re-reviewing a lot of your earlier videos!

The first one on this fruit was so bad...

Episode 6: Return of The Abiu 🍋😄😄
Good review this time! So, I don't even really like fruit that much but I love your channel. It's informative and fun. And you have a nice way of talking, it's very soothing. That sounds weird.. but there you go.
thanks! Glad to hear its fun even if you dont like fruit. :)
It would be cool if you redo all of your old videos like Pulasan, Granadilla, Lucuma and Rose apple and other fruits with your new camera and microphone!
damn ive just literally responded to someone suggesting the same basically. be really cool but i think it would be a cost too far, as some fruits i think he only reviewed in the country he was travelling in at the time.
I'm down with redoing episodes if I have a lot more to add to it. This one needed it for sure.
Thank you for doing what you do.....I'm always looking forward for the review you give of fruits I never knew existed
I like remakes, also you will not only bring us a better video but a better review with more experience
Should be named as a Fraction Fruit, since it looks like a division in 3:04 😂
Ooh I wonder how it would do in recipes.. hmm. Definitely love most things chilled. 😊
Dude your videos are always great even then lol I love learning about exotic fruits...
The only latex-ey fruit I've had is jackfruit, but this looks like that is more in the rind.
Oooh I'm early. Just wanna say I appreciate your vids immensely, and they inspire me to no end. Thanks!
Hey Weird Fruit Guy, I've been binge watching you're videos for a week now. I think I'm your#1 Fan now. Get work very entertaining and informative.
That sample of abiu actually looks substandard but it's good you enjoyed it. In its best form, it should look white and slightly translucent with no dark bruises inside like what you had.
Dw man we all forgive you! I've learned about so many new fruits from you hope you keep em coming
Nice review, I wanna try this fruit, Jared
I just got one of these in my box from Miami Fruit and I'm excited to try it! I consider your channel an instruction manual on what to do with my weird fruit lol.
This fruit is called Cauge in Ecuador, it a very tall tree, maybe 45 to 50 feet tall. It grows in the woods in the hot and humid forest . It grows in the wild, it is not cultivated in farms.
Miami fruit also has pink guavas. You should do a review on one of them
they're veeery different from normal guavas
Haha episode six opens with code blue!
0:13 Jared sounding like zefrank there.
Legit never heard someone mention zefrank in a non zefrank video before lol
Ive been watching your channel for years, its weird to now have suggested videos from other channels basically copying your content. I guess thats just the way of the world, but you must be doing something right to have biters. Keep up the good work!
Love your content. Keep up the good work
I remember that video. It was very intriguing, so good job.
These used to grow in my grandfather's farm!! They're my favorite fruit of all time
The inside looks like that of a Sapodilla fruit. Sapodilla is really sweet, sugary and has a pudding like texture.
In the original review, was that recorded in South America? We get that fruit in Colombia, but it's not too easy to find in Bogotá
It's crazy to think of how many fruits I never knew existed until I found this channel.
Good to see the Indiana Jones of fruit exploration, reviews his own work for quality and accuracy. I cannot wait until this pandemic is over and he goes on some more trips to far off flung exotic destinations in search of some more "weird fruit".
mmm sounds delish. texture sounds good too.
We called star apples Caimito in the Philippines. My grandma used to have a tree in her backyard. We used to climb up on her roof to get some fruit. So delicious
in Hawaii we call the abiu the custard fruit also
I want to try one of those so bad! I’ve been wanting one for years!
Plant the seeds in your new cat-proof planter. 😉
Did you try the American beauty berry ( callicarpa americana) and the jaltomato ( jaltomata procumbens) ?
*Thomas Newman playing in the background*
I've been dying for some rambutan but I don't know an trust worthy online seller
roguexsweets Miami Fruit is alright
@themooseriverreviewcrew do they grow big? my friend's dad grows various plants and fruits and he tends to bring his plants inside the house of his garage when winter drops, as in the UK we maybe have 5 months of decent growable weather before you get frosty nights randomly just before june or snow in march.
darn weather.
If you have an asian supermarket near by they are surprisingly common when they're in season.
I just ordered some of these from Miami fruit and I'm so excited!
enjoy! try them chilled
Hi, what’s the difference between, green star apple? And purple? Is this sweeter than the two? Or the taste is really different?
MIAMI FRUIT 🍑 🍑🍑 IS THE PLUG 🔌
That sounds other than the latex part really nice I love that jelly texture
My friend has a few abiu trees. I'm going to try making a wine or mead with about 5 kgs of fruit. I can't find any recipe for abiu wine so it will be a fun experiment.
I finally got to try this and it’s delicious!
It really sounded like he said Miami Fruit sent him abuse
Lovely abuse.
some of them what to abuse you, some of them want to send you abuuuusee
The clips from episode 6 were painful to watch. You've definitely come a long way.
Abriu is really delicious. As you noticed, it sticks your lips togheter. In the old days of Pará, people asked for secrecy like this: "boca de abiu! ..."
They call them Caimito here in Peru in the Amazon, I had them in Iquitos, and we're recommended to use a spoon to eat to avoid the latex sticking everywhere, though some people like to not tell you about the sticky latex and then give you like paper towel or paper napkins or even cotton to "clean yourself" and then laugh when it sticks to your face
I believe that's a different fruit: ruclips.net/video/x0QeeFyCSh0/видео.html

Hey man, have you ever tried snowberry?
Now I'm craving for some star apple. We call that kaymito.
I bought a small abiu tree a few months ago and was so excited for it to grow and try it and it died after like 2 months 😞
If magic happens whenever you chill the fruit then you should also try it the way the Mexicans do with the chile seasoning like salt pepper and sugar it's the next in line for seasoning fruit.
Also known as tejin (taheen)
It has salt sugar lime
Not to be confused with chili powder which has oregano and other herbs
Does it taste like the Duku fruit?
omg, just seeing this and I thought star apple before you said it. love the starapple.
We call this Penny Pence in Trinidad and Tobago. It's really rare now. I've only had it once.
isn't unprocessed latex irritating?
Does Miami fruit randomly select the fruit or can you request what you want in a box?
there is different options of fruits, tons i think, best check there website for more specific details but they also do mystery box fruits, where they will probably a selection or category of different fruits, maybe a banana selection or citrus, but im not sure, i cant use them where i live.
@@Dockhead Thanks.
Yeah the variety box gives you a selection of whats in season.
You should call episodes like these re-views or re-reviews or something like that
Damn he do be eating and reviewing fruit tho
That first review was frankly Abiu-sive
Bet this would go good on a pie or some kind of dessert food
So what's with the intro to Code Blue by TSOL? Does this fruit like em cold and quiet??
If I may ask... where did you get that cutting board?
You can get ones like that at Chinese restaurant supply places and sometimes asian supermarkets. They're dirt cheap too most of the time (mine was on sale for $2). Only thing is you need to oil it, they're bacteria traps.
Weird Explorer Thanks for the reply. I'll keep my eye out for one, I really like it.
damn thats sick, smarter every day is a big patron for you?
Hahaha i glad you review again nice🤤🤤🤤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you froze one, would it become a sorbet?
i actually think it could or would.
Soo... Milk, green grape, honey (rambutan), egg custard, and sugarcane (green?) is the flavor breakdown?
Yep. Its very mild but has subtle notes of those things :)
Anyone else think that Jamaine Clement is Jared's celebrity look-alike?
Abiu is my favorite fruit!!!
have you ever had a Chinese Bayberry? （杨梅）I love them.
Yes he had them ruclips.net/video/qIspCfEApp4/видео.html
You should try cotton candy grapes.
I have it as a bonus review in this episode: ruclips.net/video/qABclXwEIR0/видео.html
Redemption is sweet today!
Nice!
Latex in a fruit? So weird. Is that edible?
Have you tasted Nauclea latifolia, red African peach?
I don't believe so
I heard you should put cherimoyas in the fridge before eating them too, but I never do, they seem good enough room temperature
Both ways are good :)
we call the star apple caimate and the abiu, brazillian caimate. we also have a green skinned caimate
Cat hair just adds a little extra fiber. Lol
I sometimes wonder if subtle flavours are placebos due to the colours of the fruit.
Wow, took me this long in life to learn that latex is not a purely synthetic phenomenon.
It tastes like caramel custard. I eat them all the time, they are delicious, just don’t eat too close to the skin as that’s the sticky part.
Often called, the Emperors Fruit.
Have lot of abiu in my plant
SINS of episode '6'.... Okay!
A lesson to be Mate always give past fruit a second chance because sometimes the first tasting can be obscured. Now you point it out the Star Apple does look like the Abiu wow you blown my mind all these fruits are probably hybrids of each other and no one knows nothing i m sure theres a family tree that can be made where Abiu and Star Fruit are branches.

Cheers fir the review sometimes a second update review on a fruit might change ones mind on first tasting.
I was a bit reluctant to try abiu, since I dont like star apples, but I gotta say abiu is quite a bit nicer, although far too sweet for my tastes.
Abiu fruits can be super expensive and even the abiu tree is also very expensive idk why 🤷♂️
Looks like a lemon from a distance
What's your favourite genus of fruits?
garcinia
Was that less than a second of Code Blue by TSOL? OωO
yep! I posted that original video something like 6 years ago. I'm so glad someone finally noticed! hahaha

oh sorry i sort of commented before reading it all thoroughly, i guess we mention the same thing.
That's actually kinda funny 😂 I'm eating this thing. I don't know what it looks like, I don't know what it tastes like. April fools?
You said “that is latex” do you mean like the rubber? Like latex gloves?
Yep. I think you could theoretically collect that and process it to make a usable latex.
do you think you'd be able to tell what kind of fruit a hidden fruit is just by hearing it's flavor described
Any psychedelic fruit yet?
in Chinese, we call this 黄金果. it's kind of sticky
Have you ever heard about this one? Black Apple
